Sensor networks have attracted intensive interests due to its extendable capability. In this paper, we attempt to answer a fundamental but practical question:” how should we dep...
To achieve required sensing coverage for a very long period of time is an important and challenging problem in sensor network design. Recently, Tong et al. have proposed a node rep...
Abstract-- We present a new, biologically-inspired algorithm for the problem of covering a given region with wireless "units" (sensors or base-stations). The general prob...
A wireless sensor network typically consists of a dense deployment of sensor nodes to achieve higher resolution and better network coverage. A dense network also increases the fau...
An important problem in wireless networks, such as wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks s...
